The farmers market opened on Sunday and will continue throughout the summer and into the fall every Sunday. It'll also be open on Wednesday evenings starting July 9.

Hours are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. every Sunday and from 4 to 7 p.m. Wednesdays, beginning July 9, along Grand Boulevard in downtown Grand Blanc.

"We had an amazing turnout. It was great," said Market Manager Melissa Healey.

Healey said the market averages about 40 to 55 vendors at a time, however, about 150 different vendors will be showcased throughout the season.

The farmers market is a growers-only market. Healey said all farmers have gone through farming inspections to ensure that what they're selling is what they are growing. The same is with the vendors selling crafts and food. It goes back to what the essence of what a farmers market was supposed to be, she said.

"The person you're buying your produce from is the one who put the seed in the ground," Healey said.

The market also has a variety of themes and events planned throughout the summer. The first Sunday market of the month is Kids Korner Day – where there will be crafts, puppet shows and giveaways for children.

"We try to do more things aimed at the kids," Healey said.

There also will be inflatables for the children and dogs are welcomed to the market.
